The Reformer.


BY SAM LAW.


All grim and soiled and brown with tan,
I saw a strong one in his wrath

Smiting the godless shrines of man
Along his path.

I looked: aside the dust cloud rolled—
The Master seemed the Builder too;

Upspringing from the ruined Old
I saw the New.

Through prison walls, like heaven-sent hope,
Fresh breezes blew and sunbeams strayed,
